MB 098: Impact Investing to Change People’s Lives Where They Live – With Eddie Lorin

As multifamily investors, it is easy to get caught up in making as much money as possible. Problem is, we sometimes forget that real people live in those apartment buildings. And regardless of their socioeconomic level, our tenants deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Eddie Lorin is a multifamily real estate investor with 20 years of value-add experience and 40K units under his belt. Eddie’s company, Impact Housing, is on a mission to breathe new life into neglected multifamily properties, generating positive returns for investors and improving the quality of life for residents and surrounding communities.
